Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (186 g / 6.6 oz)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100 g / 3.5 oz)
Sweeteners:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67 g / 2.4 oz)
Flavor Enhancers and Baking Agents:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
- Candy eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until the mixture appears silky and thoroughly integrated.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and egg, blending until the composition achieves a uniform consistency.
- Gradually introduce flour, salt, and baking soda, initially mixing at a low speed to prevent ingredient dispersion, then briefly increase velocity to create a cohesive dough without excessive manipulation.
- Delicately incorporate chocolate chips and festive Halloween sprinkles using a flexible spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Utilize an ice cream scoop to craft uniform dough spheres, positioning them strategically on a parchment-lined baking surface. Refrigerate the prepared dough for a minimum of 90 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and texture to solidify.
- Activate the oven, calibrating the temperature to 350°F. Strategically arrange chilled dough portions across the baking sheet, maintaining sufficient spacing to prevent unexpected merging.
- Bake until cookie edges display a golden-bronze hue, approximately 11-13 minutes. While cookies retain residual warmth, optionally embellish with playful candy eyes for a whimsical Halloween aesthetic.
- Allow cookies to cool completely, permitting structural stabilization before serving these delightful seasonal treats.
Notes
- Chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading and create thick, chewy cookies with crisp edges.
- Customize sprinkles and candy eyes to match different Halloween color schemes or party themes.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and more consistent cookie texture.
- Swap chocolate chips with seasonal Halloween colored chips for extra festive flair.
